With advance apologies to the companies coming into the Old Fitz in the next 6 months, I wish they’d put themselves on hold, so that the current show, This Much Is True could play for the rest of the year.

As biting as a de-dentured dementia sufferer who has forgotten how to chew, as sexy as a diagnosis for Hep C, and about as funny, Before Lysistrata plays like a Year 9 drama exercise, earnest in its self importance and lacking any disciplinary stage craft.

Friday evening and we are driving into Bellingen – the ‘god’ clouds trapping the last rays of the sun, like fire in the sky. Auspicious welcome with the brooding purple ridge looming ever closer

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
Continuity | New Theatre
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.
Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.
